romney/ryan ideas, and the things they say just don't add up. and they clearly demonstrated a superiority to paul ryan. he did what he had to do. i was saying yesterday best thing he could do was to reenergize the democrats. >> stephanie: yeah. >> and we did that. >> stephanie: tommy one of our listeners just wrote in biden hits ryan for writing for stimulus money. >> yes. and even though i know there is all of this discussion in the pundit-ocracy about interrupting. every time he said that's not true. that's not true. and that's enough in many cases just to say, no you are lying,

basically. and i think that narrative now because of ryan's performance at the republican convention and the fact-checking comments -- excuse me -- the fact-checker comments and so forth, the narrative will persist that what romney and ryan say all the time just can't factual. >> stephanie: here is a new word for winning, in right-wing world, it's rude.

>> stephanie: yeah. and what were some of your other favorites. >> the afghanistan discussion i thought was pretty compelling. where ryan kept saying it's the most dangerous part of the country, and biden saying and you want to send americans there? i thought he made that case as strongly as it could be made. >> stephanie: yes, almost everybody has commented on the afghanistan stuff. >> and also the second segment, where biden said you all need to show responsibility and really cast that 99% 1% and the 47% that romney thinks don't take responsibility for themselves i thought was very strong. >> stephanie: how much do we love him calling him my friend.

>> and i love my friend here. i'm not allowed to show letters. but go to our website, he sent me two letters saying by the way can you send me stimulus money for here in wisconsin. >> you did ask for stimulus. >> we advocated for constituents who are applying for groups. >> i love that. this is such a bad program, he writes a letter saying the reason we need this stimulus it will create growth and jobs. i wish he would just -- be a little more candid. >> stephanie: that was awesome. >> yeah. mitch mcconnell in spite of talking about the failed stimulus, he always requested about $200 million of stimulus

money. >> stephanie: yeah. and requested obamacare funds in wisconsin. >> yeah, it's amazing. >> stephanie: like i say, i think now the president is teed up perfectly for the next debate? >> absolutely. but i still think that the president has a great opportunity. all he has to do is put forward a little bit of an agenda for the four years ahead, and i think it's over. he -- he really hasn't done that yet, and i was talking about that yesterday. if he just took some elements of his jobs act, say we're going to create a infrastructure to fund roads and bridges and so forth. change immigration laws so we get the brightest mines in the world to the united states just four or five things i think that puts it out of reach for

romney. >> stephanie: yep. one other favorite moment. >> there aren't enough rich people to tax to pay for all of their spending. the next time you hear them say don't worry about it watch out middle class, the tax bill is coming to you. we can cut tax rates by 20% -- >> it has never been done before. >> it has been done a couple of times. >> it has never been done before. >> jack kennedy lowered rated -- >> oh now you are jack kennedy.

program? he doesn't have one. >> stephanie: yeah. >> this whole thing about raising taxes on small business banks is hysterical. ryan said 53% of income would fall under small business income. but 53% of small business income is earned by 3% of the businesses. they are not small businesses. they are very profitable organizations. >> stephanie: exactly. i couldn't be happier -- what -- obviously you have been talking to a lot of people since the debate. what was your sense? >> i thought everybody on our side thought it was a home run. and i'm not the first one to say this, but the fact that the republican were harping on joe being ruud and smiling too much

understand that they lost on substance substantially. they took a beating last night. >> stephanie: exactly. representtive yarmuth thank you so much for basking in the glow with us. >> thank you for not calling me last week.

thing to do. >> stephanie: yeah, you are not doing it right. >> these things are always more about tone than the words. and i think it's true across the board that whoever looks like they are having the most fun wins the debate. and i think joe biden was having fun last night. >> stephanie: exactly. some of the sound bite we played from bill clinton yesterday, how much fun is he having? >> yeah. >> stephanie: the fun the president was having the next day at his expense, he has got to get some of that mojo. >> yeah, and he went in thinking he was debating conservative mitt. >> stephanie: yeah. do you think he is allowed to have bill clinton poke his head out from the side and say modern

[ applause ] >> stephanie: here he is. >> good morning ms. miller. the one thing that disappointed me about last night was actually you. you have lost your title. you have lost your crown. you are no longer the nation's biggest happy clappy liberal. that now goes to joe biden. the happiest clappiest guy i

have ever seen. >> stephanie: yeah isn't that something. we were just comparing it to the great bill clinton tape. there really is something to be said for jumping down. >> bill clinton jumping up and down? >> stephanie: yes. >> and the guy has had bypass surgery, can you calm it down a notch, bill. but exactly, he was amazing. who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes. joe biden did everything you predicted, stephanie. you predicted this was going to happen. >> stephanie: i said he is going to make mincemeat out of him. >> you did. and who eats mincemeat anyway? >> stephanie: i don't know. >> here is what is so interesting about the whole process. is you get these moments. there was one moment late in the debate, and you talked about it

earlier on where they got into choice, they got into abortion and here was paul ryan saying our ticket believes absolutely we don't want unelected judges making this decision. wouldn't you have loved to have a tape of mitt romney saying sure i would love a court to overturn roe v. wade. the unelected judges can make this decision if they vote my way. that's one inconsistency. but the other one is this is the same paul ryan that coauthored legislation that did not exclude in the case of rape. so has he just done a 180 on what he believes life is.

but on something as -- as so morally important to this guy, he basically said -- forget everything i have said before. i now think it is okay to kill, you know, children where i said before it wasn't okay to kill children, but never mind what i said. and that went unchallenged. we heard the vice president' s response, but paul ryan got off the hook on that. >> stephanie: yeah, we were saying, jim -- there's obviously a bunch of polling showing biden won going away. and lot of people were talking about the snap poll. as jacki was saying 381 people and cnn poll was skewed with a

crowd more heavily favored for republicans. >> and in fairness to the cbs poll, it didn't have a much bigger sampling. sadly we're truth tellers here -- and none of those polls -- they give you an indication of trends. forget about the snap polls, how are people playing this out. i watched the morning shows today, and clearly the clips are favoring biden. when it looked like occasionally the smile was a little over the top, on a split screen that can happen. the still shots of the vice president make him look like he is having the best time ever. the phrase of happy warrior.

and hubert humphrey -- david freye, here -- here is the thing. if you have a candidate who looks like he is having a good time. mitt romney did look like he was having a good time last week and he should have. but last night the guy who really came across -- by take on any of these things is all of us watch it from beginning to end. most people, most people just pass by the tv set for 30 seconds, and they look at what they see on camera and they look that there are two guys. and they say a guy who is happy and comfortable in his own skin

and if you go back to the dick cheney, john edwards debate, where john kerry clearly won the first debate. the incumbent president was on the ropes. it was dick cheney who calmed everything down and cleaned john edward's clock. and frankly in retrospect he shouldn't have even owned a clock. but there is a pattern here. and bush came back in the next debate and i think we'll see that happen next week. >> stephanie: i do too. david you and i will watch it together in our smoking jackets and cocktails. >> it has to be pajamas. >> stephanie: andrew in california thinks i won the tart-off. good morning andrew.

>> caller: you mentioned the skirt -- we didn't get to see it. >> stephanie: really, then they shot it differently this time. >> they put jacki on the end there, and you could see her legs. when you guys see the shot of the calfs, you never nately got that one. >> stephanie: thank you. >> but both were better than paul ryan's calfs. >> caller: oh, yeah, i don't workout, and i have better calfs than paul ryan does. [ laughter ] >> caller: in the same way president obama had to learn, the next time you guys do the predebate thing, you have to work the camera a little bit

better to your advantage too. >> stephanie: right. i'm going to make her wear a parka and leggings and put baby in the corner. >> i would suggest a slightly longer skirt. >> stephanie: really? >> there was a danger. >> stephanie: there was not. >> well . . . [ laughter ] >> stephanie: phil good morning. >> caller: goment. i looked at the cnn poll randomly called after the debate. >> so there was nothing scientific about that one. it was scientific. and the cnn poll ryan won by

four points. nine points with swing voters, and ten points on likability. >> stephanie: uh-huh. >> so from my vantage point you can't say there is a bunch of polls saying biden won. >> stephanie: what are you saying is scientific or not? >> caller: scientific is random sampling. the cbs poll was not random sampling. those people were previously selected and it was an online poll. the cnn poll -- >> stephanie: how can they know ahead of time what is going to happen. >> they know ahead of times they are going to be asked after words. matter of fact a lot of them didn't have computers -- >> stephanie: all right.

we have to go to break. >> it seems to me if you call people randomly out of the phone back that's not very scientific at all. >> right. >> stephanie: eightteen minutes after the hour, right back on the "stephanie miller show." ♪

candidates. people who look like they want the job and not sit there and pretend that we have anything in common with the other side. and it was refreshing to see biden not to go up there and pretend that there is common ground, because right now there isn't. >> stephanie: that's it. carbon-based life forms that is the only thing that is the same. particularly after romney tried to make it seem like -- he basically said oh, yeah me too. which is the complete opposite of what he has been running on. >> yeah. i almost would like to forget the last week ever happened. >> stephanie: yeah let's pretend that didn't happen. >> it -- it was nuts and -- but you know what really struck me two things about the debates. one that we have spent the last

four years hearing how stupid biden is. >> stephanie: right. >> and the second thing about how they are strong and macho, and we were aggressive and nobody is second to us. and after last night, [ inaudible ] just completely destroyed the little wonder ken [ inaudible ] biden just chewed him up and spit him out, but second is hearing republicans whine about biden was so strong and aggressive and so mean. that is what they want. we gave it to them. they don't like it when it is directed to them. >> stephanie: somebody said obama was polite and lost and biden was polite. i saw ed gillespie on tv going paul ryan's huge win, i'm like

huh? >> yeah. in fairness -- i mean, i don't think ryan looked as destroyed as obama did. and i think part of that is the magnitude of the decision. you are the president. not some schmuck congressman that nobody have heard of before. on the other hand to me it does clear that by the time the night was over that paul ryan was sarah palin's sequel. >> stephanie: yeah i loved that joe biden took the sarah palin snipe, yeah, yeah death panels i heard that from sarah palin. >> i loved it when biden totally pressed ryan on earmarks. he wrote two letters talking about the jobs that would be created with these stimulus money. the team that whines about the

moderator lost. and the moderator actually bailed out ryan. because biden was just pressing him on those letters asking for stimulus money and he had no answer. >> stephanie: yeah. let's hear that again. joe biden last night -- the letters. >> okay. >> stephanie: there you go. >> i love my friend here. i'm not allowed to show letters but go to our website, he spent two letters saying by the way can you send up stimulus money here for the state of wisconsin -- >> you did ask for stimulus dollars? >> we advocate for constituents who were applying for grants. >> i love that this is such a bad program, and he writes me letter saying the reason we need this stimulus, it will created growth and jobs. his words.

i wish he would just tell -- be a little more candid. [ laughter ] >> and when you can't -- you can't show on the radio is that dumb-founded look that ryan had at that moment. and if the moderator hadn't said anything, he would have probably saturday there for a minute knowing what to say. >> stephanie: the minute you hear whining about the moderator, i agree that's the side that lost. but as you say it was kind of a flip of what happened last week right? >> yeah, and the good thing about what happened last week is it happened last week. >> exactly. >> stephanie: it's over now. >> it's over and we still have two presidential debates coming on. the townhall style will work to president obama's style.

mitt romney has had difficulty with that in the past. >> working with human beings. >> yes. and obama instinctively does not like confrontation. he wants to bring everything together and find consensus. and you would think after four years of being beat down by republicans where they are openly talking about they want to destroy him, you would think he would get a hint that these people don't want to work with him. and then last week happened. biden knows the score and he is not going to let them get away with it. obama i hope has gotten that message. i don't think anybody sees a president getting man handled by

mitt romney and says that was cool. >> stephanie: right, but i think that and last night's debate i absolutely think we'll see a different president obama in the next one. >> i don't think they have a choice. and obama always raises his game when his back is up against the wall. so maybe he thought he could just run out the clock, but now he is going to have to be more aggressive. >> stephanie: it reminds me of the eyes don't match. they just have to do -- they are spinning, right? >> yeah. yeah. and [ inaudible ] they have been brutal. with independent voters, it was brutal. even the cnn poll that showed ryan supposedly winning 48-44, cnn admitted that they oversampling republicans by way

too many. but my point is it wasn't the most representative sample and if that is what you are going to hang your hat on -- that did not play well. and the post debate polls, which is where romney really made strides last week. on friday after a full 24 hours of post debate spin right? >> stephanie: right. >> the post debate talk has been pretty rough on ryan but the president is the president. >> stephanie: and we have been saying, i do think we send to be a little bit more honest. we came in and said the president has a bad night. whereas they are just spinning. i'm reading some poll analysis

here. it says the most relevant poll comes from cbs news and it says it is 51% compared to 31% for ryan. i mean that was an ass kicking. [ laughter ] >> no doubt. >> stephanie: so you think the townhall will favor the president on tuesday. >> yes, and the fact that he went through this already once. it didn't work his way, and now he has to listen to advise to be more aggressive. he has done it in the past and it has worked for him in the past. so to be honest, i wasn't worried last week, so to say i'm not worried next week i could be wrong again. but obama does do well when his back is up against the wall.

obama is still winning in the polls. >> stephanie: yep. >> so all of the doom and gloom we have seen, it is because we have gone from an obama boil out win -- >> stephanie: to an obama win. >> right. a week ago we were talk about maybe competing in arizona, and now they are just talking about let's focus on the states we need to win. but i would like to see that with an obama crushing victory. >> stephanie: markos always great to talk to you, thanks so much, honey. >> pleasure. pleasure. pleasure.
